This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a novel oral amphotericin B (AmB) formulation (iCo-019) following single doses to healthy humans. The data from this study suggest that iCo-019 has a long circulation time and systemic exposure without the associated gastrointestinal, liver, and kidney toxicity associated with AmB. This novel oral AmB formulation can serve as a new treatment strategy to overcome the limitations of the use of parenterally administered AmB products.
本研究评估了新型口服两性霉素B(AmB)制剂(iCo-019)单次给药后对健康人的安全性、耐受性和药代动力学。该研究的数据表明,iCo-019具有较长的循环时间和全身暴露量,且没有与两性霉素B相关的胃肠道、肝脏和肾脏毒性。这种新型口服两性霉素B制剂可作为一种新的治疗策略,以克服胃肠外给药两性霉素B产品使用的局限性。
